Frequently Asked Questions

What’s the difference between copy editing and proofreading?

The difference between copy editing and proofreading lies in which components of a written work each role focuses on.
In copy editing, the copy is tidied up for conciseness and polished so that the information is delivered to the reader clearly.
Proofreading, however, is the last opportunity to catch errors and correct inconsistencies relating to how the page looks.

Our comprehensive proofreading checklist guarantees accurate editing on every document. We cover all grammatical, typographical, structural, and presentational aspects of proofreading and editing.

This comprehensive proofreading checklist is intended to catch every mistake, regardless whether it was made due to sloppy typing, forgetting the language, using English as a second language, or for any other cause. Our proofreaders and editors have in-depth knowledge, and they will not only fix your documents but also provide clear explanations so you won’t make the same error again.

Without a doubt! We have an internal NDA (Non-Disclosure Agreement) that all of our proofreaders have signed, and we are happy to sign one that you or your legal team has also written. The Proofreaders are only concerned with editing and proofreading your documents. They will be finished and stored for a short while on our internal systems before being removed.

At 5 Star Translation, we have experience working with clients from a variety of industries operating in Canada and around the world. While our main focus is English to French translation, we provide editing and proofreading services to ensure that the final product is the best that it can be. Since our team has experience working in several industries, we are able to provide valuable feedback and suggestions for how to improve your documents.

Unfortunately no. During our editing and proofreading process, we may suggest ways to clarify certain aspects of your content, but we do not provide complete rewrites of your content. Our team is knowledgeable in the verbiage of various industries, so we may also make suggestions for the use of language throughout your text.

After working on a project for an extended period of time, our eyes tend to miss the smallest mistakes and read what they want to see (even if it’s not what is actually written!).

Our team has years of experience working with our clients for their editing and proofreading needs.

Do you have a document that needs translating and are interested in our editing and proofreading services? Contact us today!
It is common for people to think that editing and proofreading are the same. However, they are actually done at different stages of the writing process. Editing is done on the first draft of a document and is repeated until the final copy. Whereas proofreading is done on the final draft of the document. At 5 Star Translation, we can step in at any point and provide you with editing and proofreading before you submit your final written piece. Usually, our clients will have us edit and proofread the documents they submit to us for translation. Interested in our editing and proofreading services? Contact our team today!
